How is Ukrainian artillery this effective? Given that Russia has claimed air superiority for over a month, how are Ukrainian artillery not suppressed yet?
Not sure if that’s the case here, but I think Ukraine has its domestic equivalent to Krasnopol laser guided munition.

Other than that, it looks like target practice. That convoy is showing no life preservation effort.

Lack of situational awareness by poorly trained conscripts who would most likely rather be at home with their families then having to worry about each minute of the day and what it might bring.

This further illustrates the already mentioned problem of operational experience by conscripted troops and the adherent lack of NCOs which would help to provide much needed expertise and moral to ground forces.

Motor Sich is the only tangible issue on that list of grievances.
Do you really fantasize that Hong Kong's protesters were significantly influenced by anything from Ukraine?

Many countries have criticized China's policies in Xinjiang. Why should China get so oversensitive about Ukraine joining them?
To be realistic, China should expect and accept some level of criticism. Ukraine has not been exceptionally anti-China.
China keeps doing business as usual with other countries that have criticized China much more loudly.
Xinjiang issue is just like what if I said you’re a murder. Obviously I don’t know wether you really are but I could just claim it anyway. And this could automatically turn me into one of your enemies. Don’t pretend you don’t understand what I’m talking about, murder!

Just kidding.

Wait so the reason why those armour units didn't move when fired upon is because they were piloted by conscripts who.... In a state of inexperience and panic and wanting to go home so bad that they did .... Absolutely nothing but wait there for their amour to be destoryed and with it their lives? They were so shocked that they didn't put their pedal to the metal to try and get out of there?

If that's the case, I got a bridge to sell as well.

It is possible. It’s called freezing in fear. NCO’s typically slap their soldiers who are frozen into reality. In addition, conscripts or poorly trained soldiers have nothing to resort to when they come under attack. All professional armies place a significant emphasis on training due to that reason. Based on what we have seen in this war, the Russians clearly didn’t train that much, particularly the infantry, and their lack of NCO’s just makes things exponentially worse.

Better explanation than “they simply accepted their fate”; you seem to forget that they are fighting in an active war and these aren’t battle hardened troops that have had to live through the constant realities of war nor do they have discipline of a professional fighting force.

Either way you look at it they were still obliterated by artillery; and this seems to be a common occurrence by Russian armored columns since the beginning of the conflict.

What would your explanation be then since your such an expert on the matter?

All 10 to 13 armour unites frozen in fear? No movement at all, and the video is an edited version. If that's the case, then props to Russia for not collapsing already and keeping Ukraine from invading the border.

Now that weapons are being handed out left & right, and Pandora's box of hatred has been opened, I fear for a prolonged period of white terror in Ukraine. Anyone who is believed to sympathize with Russia will be killed and mass graves will be the norm. I it was already starting to occur in Ukraine prior to war, hence Russia's rationale for intervention. But it just made it far worse. Russia really need to step up and do what is necessary to achieve its strategic goals as quickly as possible.
I think it will be worse than that; eventually I believe any citizen that doesn't buy in to their ultra-nationalist ideology will be disposed of (or used for other sick means) gradually and based on media shared on social platforms it is already happening in some form. The situation reminds me of First they came...

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.


And it has only just begun, as the war rages on, if Ukraine starts to lose territory and their position becomes more perilous all around then I see it exacerbating the problem greatly.

I’m glad to see you have such a plethora of experience as a soldier that you would know exactly what to expect while under fire in the heat of combat; clearly the Russians need you on the front lines to lead them! Why don’t you go share your expertise then?
